The Video Game BAFTAs: the winners and how we all feel about Alex Zane

Celebs, fancy chocolates, PSP jokes – and videos of some hot gameplay the gaming BAFTAs was all you’d ever dream it to be.

Walking away with the bronze mask that everyone had their eye on, was the Batman Arkham Asylum team who carried off the Best Game BAFTA with a round of cheers.

Batman also picked up Best Gamplay, but the real winner of the night felt like Uncharted 2: Among Thieves – the developing team walked away with a whopping four Baftas for: Best Original Score, Best Story, Best Audio and Best Action.

“Playing that game is like being in your own film” the guy next to me breathed.

The guy who got the most cheers was Miyamoto – the Nintendo CEO – the man who invented the Wii, Donkey Kong and set the blueprint for the modern gaming industry. A smiley Japanese man who told a reverent audience that he was inspired to make games by the world around him and that his dogs barking spurred him on to make Nintendogs.
